Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
218 AM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025

.DISCUSSION...

A frontal boundary will become nearly stationary across the Quad
State region through the weekend before passing through as a cold
front Sunday night into Monday. This will keep rain chances
in the forecast with rain amounts of generally 0.5-1.5" forecast
by late Sunday night. The heaviest rainfall totals are expected
to be across southeast Missouri into southern Illinois. Relative
humidity values will also be kept much higher ahead of the
frontal
boundary.
